Methods And Arrangements For An Adapter To Improve Electrostatic Discharge Protection

View page
US Patent:
7247037, Jul 24, 2007
Filed:
Dec 6, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/295301
Inventors:
Mithkal M. Smadi - Round Rock TX, US
Anthony C. Spielberg - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
H01R 13/53
US Classification:
439181, 439 88
Abstract:
Methods and arrangements to adapt an electronic system to attenuate electrostatic discharges of a cable as the cable is connected with a connector on the electronic system are disclosed. Embodiments may include an adapter to couple with a connector of an electronic system. The adapter may momentarily interconnect conductors of a cable with a selected conductor of the connecter to discharge to attenuate or discharge an electrostatic charge built up on the conductors of the cable. In some embodiments, the adapter includes a selector switch so the selected conductor can be selected based upon the electronic system. In other embodiments, the selected conductor is fixed.

US Patent:
7247038, Jul 24, 2007
Filed:
Dec 6, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/295302
Inventors:
Mithkal M. Smadi - Round Rock TX, US
Anthony C. Spielberg - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
H01R 13/53
US Classification:
439181, 439 88
Abstract:
Methods and arrangements to methods and arrangements to attenuate electrostatic discharges of a cable are disclosed. Embodiments may include connectors with discharge elements integrated into the connectors to interconnect conductors of a cable to attenuate or discharge an electrostatic charge built up on the conductors. In some embodiments, the conductors are momentarily connected to ground as the connector couples with another connector to interconnect a cable with, e. g. , a computer. In further embodiments, the discharge elements interconnect the conductors of a cable to redistribute an electrostatic charge and thereby minimize the impact of a discharge when the cable couples with an electronic system such as a computer. Another embodiment comprises a male connector with discharge elements, which ground conductors of the cable as the cable is being inserted into the connector. The discharge elements are pushed out of the way of the conductors as the conductors couple with the connector.

US Patent:
7409149, Aug 5, 2008
Filed:
Nov 3, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/266668
Inventors:
Anthony C. Spielberg - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G03B 17/00
US Classification:
396 50, 396 89
Abstract:
Methods to improve autofocus in digital imaging systems, such as digital cameras, are disclosed. Embodiments may include, in response to locking of lens focus on a subject image, determining an initial subject focus distance and an initial attitude, and in response to a request for an exposure, determining a final attitude. Embodiments may also include determining a final target subject distance based on the initial subject focus distance and a focus correction distance, where the focus correction distance is based on the difference between the initial attitude and the final attitude. Embodiments may also include focusing the lens at the final target subject distance. Further embodiments may include after focusing the lens at the final target subject distance, exposing an image. Other embodiments may include determining the initial and final attitude with a micro-electro-mechanical (MEMS)-based sensor or other sensor.

US Patent:
7430398, Sep 30, 2008
Filed:
May 3, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/121127
Inventors:
Oliver K. Ban - Austin TX, US
Anthony Cappa Spielberg - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
H04B 7/00
US Classification:
455 412, 455 413, 4555561, 455557, 235385, 235487, 235375, 23547201, 235492, 3405721, 340 101, 340 104, 3405681, 705 28, 705 64
Abstract:
RFID tags to provide a relatively low power and power conserving wireless communication system to dynamically and automatically transfer all preselected data developed in designated digital devices to a centralized data processing system. Inclusion, in the target mobile wireless devices from which data is to be transferred, of an RFID tag, preferably passive, to minimize power consumption that is conventionally recognizable by a short range RF transceiver in the computer system to which data is to be transferred. Thus, each mobile wireless device being tracked includes a short range RFID tag, a short range RF transceiver and storage means for the digital data developed by the device that is to be transferred. The data processing system to which the transfer is to be made should include a short range RF transceiver for identifying all RFID tags within this short range boundary; and means, responsive to the system RF transceiver identifying the RFID tag in the mobile wireless device within said short range boundary, for transmitting a signal to said mobile device to trigger the mobile device transceiver to transmit stored digital data to the data processing system.

US Patent:
7483596, Jan 27, 2009
Filed:
Jan 13, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/755888
Inventors:
William Bornstein - Stormville NY, US
Anthony Cappa Spielberg - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06K 7/10
US Classification:
382312, 382274, 382167, 382314, 382315, 382318, 358497
Abstract:
Methods to capture a digital image are disclosed. Embodiments include methods for taking multiple color data readings with a series of sensing elements in one collecting location during a single exposure, associating the collecting location with a pixel, and calculating a color value for the pixel based on the multiple color data readings. The method may include directing light successively to the sensing elements of the series of sensing elements within one exposure via reflective optics. The method may include determining that a sensing element of the series of sensing elements is defective. The method may include redirecting light to align a non-defective sensing element of the series of sensing elements with the collecting location. The non-defective sensing element and the defective sensing element may be associated with the same color.
